Did You Learn Anything?

Do you believe in Second Chances?
we must assert our boundaries and set an example for not tolerating what need not be tolerated. You may give a second chance for someone to correct their behaviour, but when they fail the second time around, there need not be a third. For in the third or more times to follow, it is ..
The Silent Treatment
In any case, giving someone the silent treatment must have a cause and effect. For starters, something triggered this extreme behaviour. The fact you reached the point where you don’t want to talk to that person or see them. And the situation gets

What makes a Man ‘A REAL MAN’
A real man does not have to try hard to be one. He does not need to prove he is one and most definitely does not require to show dominance over another human being to be rewarded with ‘Manhood’. There is nothing to be proud of when a Man ..
